Systems Mechanics have been involved in the development of OSS/J adapters since 2006 with the integration of Zen™ with IBM Tivoli Netcool OMNIbus and HP TeMIP through the Fault Management OSS/J interface, using the CrossTalk™ Foundation. The high throughput (2.6 million alarms a month) and resilience of this tight (using the JVT profile) integration has lead to further involvement in the domain with the integration of the Maximo and Remedy trouble ticket systems through OSS/J.

Systems Mechanics are currently completing development of the latest release of their MME (Mediation and Mapping Engine), a generic and extensible framework deployed to provide real-time fault/performance management capabilities within UNIX based distributed computing environments.

This platform independent CrossTalk™ Mapping and Mediation Technology, is a non-stop, high performance framework implementing mediation and business logic through highly configurable mapping rules, providing an efficient flow of information between heterogeneous OSS systems and network elements. Translation and annotation capabilities are provided by configurable, dynamically loadable mapping rules and industry standard XML structured data files.

The Crosstalk™ MME Framework includes support for a number of interface adapters, including OSS/J FM and OSS/J TT client/server interfaces, providing a resilient, fully integrated, high speed Service Oriented Architeture.
